As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) reminds Michigan women to stay up to date on cervical and breast cancer screenings.
Each year, breast cancer causes approximately 40,000 deaths in the U.S., and in 2026 it is estimated that 9,900 Michigan residents will be diagnosed with breast cancer and for 1,320 of them it will be fatal.
